My analysis of 'One Last Thing' / 'iChanged The World'
Entirely awful, worse than my cringing early expectations. Walt Mossberg in particular destroyed the program. His gross misinformation about ‘Apple was 90 days from bankruptcy’ was the climax of the program’s ineptitude. This is media reinforcing media created lies once again, just as it did on 60 Minutes last week. History be damned. That this monstrosity was created and broadcast by Public Broadcasting makes me particularly upset. That this worthless garbage program will be repeatedly broadcast for years to come as ‘factual’, useful and meaningful is disgusting.
Apparently facts and truth are entirely ignorable in our decrepit contemporary culture for the sake of dramatic effect and audience appeal. Consider me gagging. So much for honoring the life of the remarkable Steve Jobs.

Well this is quite a negative reaction. I thought it was alright. The problem is all the repetition. How many odes to Steve Jobs do we need? I hate the media for all the redundancy. And Blogs... man, you can just read Blog articles over the course of a day and not need to buy Steve's latest bio by Issaacson.
No matter what people put a slant on things. You've got a small group of people here with their view, but not everyone thinks the same things as them. According to Steve, Apple was about 90 days from bankruptcy when he got back there...
But anyway, there're too many white men pontificating in this and again, very repetitive.

Yeah, this wasn't a very good special. I had it on in the background.
The Discovery Channel special hosted by the Mythbusters was even worse.
To be honest, I'm pretty much Steve Jobsed out at this point.

I thought it was ok. Nothing to write home about.
But then again, I never write home about anything.

If the Intarweb has taught us anything, I think it would be that we need a lot of odes to be able to sing through the noise (or outlast it) over time. We need these things done RIGHT NOW before memories and images fade in our minds, so that we can capture as much of that as we can for posterity. Some of it is useless, sure, but everything I've seen has had a little something different.
Think of how much we've learned about Steve Jobs in the past few weeks. After years and years of scrutiny from one of the largest & deepest fanboy bases in history.
I wish there was MORE from Jef Raskin out there, for example. That guy was awesome too. Real brains.
If we think of these guys as artists, we should encourage every tidbit to be churned while we can, because it will be forgotten otherwise.

Watched them both. Agree on both counts. There was so much more to Steve than what the products Apple sold.
